Be forewarned!!! This movie opens on a close up shot of Resse ripping off a toenail that falls off, so you might wanna skip the first five minutes.

But, as for the movie itself...I liked the journey, but didn't feel a connection when it was finished.And the juxtaposition of some of the flashbacks and of the shots of when she sees her mom in the wild were a little heavy handed. And to be honest, I think this film would've worked better had it been linear. Even I was creeped out by the Redneck perv. I was praying she wouldn't get raped.

Gotta say though Reese surprised me by how well she acted in this. Outside of Walk the Line, I never saw the appeal. And now that I saw her naked and that she still looks good naked, I'd beat.

But yea Reese is gonna get that nom.

Laura Dern might lock one too for Best Supporting. Maybe.

But the movie as a whole is good. Nothing to run out to see or write home about.
